The Contested Murder of latasha Harlins: justice, gender and the origins of the l.a. riots
“The unique circumstances fueled widespread public interest in the case and led Brenda E. Stevenson to use it as a lens to examine how the intersection of gender, ethnicity, and class shapes larger community relationships and pathologies. The result is an extraordinarily significant and very interesting book.”
-Kathleen A. Cairns, The American Historical Review“Brenda Stevenson joins a number of scholars who have attempted to complicate our understanding of the causes and consequences of the tragic and destructive conflagration, but her contribution is unique and stands out due to its detailed and intersectional analysis…a model for scholarship on Los Angeles.”

-David Brion Davis, The New York Review of Books“Richly nuanced…Life in Black and White is an engaging book that will appeal to persons interested in gender, slavery, family, and community studies…a welcome addition to the literature.”
